LEAF is excited to welcome Aaron Boonstra to our Board of Directors! In this blog, our Executive Director, Janet McKay, interviews Aaron about his experience and motivation for becoming a LEAF Board Member.
LEAF’s Full-Service Backyard Tree Planting Program (BYTP program) has been helping to grow the urban forest for nearly 30 years. We analyzed how many of those trees are retained to understand the impacts of this long running program and consider how LEAF can continue supporting residents so that newly planted trees thrive.
Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble. Meet the most witchy shrub of them all: the common witchhazel! With its name, flowers, fruit and folkloric roots, this native shrub embodies all things eerie, making it the perfect fall garden addition to celebrate the spooky season.
